put the wheels on the car today fronts are 18x9+25mm, rears are 18x10.5 +20mm. This photo is taken at stock height, I'll be putting the coilovers on tomorrow. Fronts look like they wont be an issue. The rear looks to be another story. Will I be able to get away with just a fender roll? Will I need to add camber or pull/flare fenders? I wanted to tuck a bit of tire, but thinking getting to one finger or close to no wheel gap would be a more realistic goal at this point. Suggestions appreciated

Neutron, the rear flare looks like it came out really well. Nice work!
Negative.one, you might have to flare just a tad and possibly add just a little negative camber, but it doesn't look like you'll need to do anything too crazy. Keep in mind though that your coilovers may not allow you to drop as low as you want. Mine are maxxed out in the rear and I still have about 3/4" to a full inch of gap between tire and fender.

If you haven't rolled your fenders I wouldn't suggest you to lower the car at all cause you will mess up that paint in seconds. You need roll before anything and then with a -2* camber on the rear should give you enough to tuck tire enough to not have a gap.

Alright, slow your roll there kemosabe LOL. I'm planning on picking up some Ohlin DFVs when I have the money. And as baller as those are, I could care less if they go any lower than these lol, but it would be nice to have the range.
Eric, you need to ask them upon ordering if you want specific height adjustability. Most coilovers won't go way low in their regular order setups, but I'm sure you can order Ohlins with fully custom perch/stroke/spring sizes. Wish I knew that info back when I ordered my Zeal Function X... I had to send em back and pay extra money to have em switch internals because they would sit 2in higher in the back.
. Where in Baltimore are you?
Yeah, I have been pretty bad. I am so happy with how the AEM and turbo switch turned out I think I may be content with its current configuration. Have another kid on the way so I am going to leave things alone for awhile
Thanks! Even though its been pretty darn hot out, it feels great to be hitting the streets again.
